    1. Thank you. It passed almost unnoticed.

  4. This was from the BBC series, 'Jazz Scene at Ronnie Scott's Club', the same series that had a session by Miles Davis. Here's a link to the details on the Jazz On The Screen website : http://lcweb2.loc.gov/diglib/ihas/loc.natlib.jots.200027108/default.html.

  5. Thanks, jazzjet. Details largely the same, just one or two minor differences.

  6. Looking at the entry for Ronnie Ross at the Jazz On The Screen website, I noticed a Jazz Goes To College episode featuring the Ronnie Ross Big Band. I imagine the video is long gone but I wonder if the audio is out there somewhere? Some other obscurities are listed too. Worth looking at. Here's the link:

    1. Didn't even know about that session, Jazzjet, so would be very interested if anything surfaces. I don't put things in the discography I did (now at http://ronnierosshomepage.blogspot.co.uk/) unless a recording exists so it would be a very welcome addition for there too.

    2. Your query did prompt me to listen to a recording I have of Tubby Hayes (item 66/3 in the Ronnie Ross Jazz Discography - details below) big band TV broadcast which I have left to one side as the sound quality is not too good and there are some faults. However, listening again it is not that bad and so I wonder if there might be any interest in it. I have a feeling that copies might be widespread though and could be better than the one I have. Perhaps you have one, Jazzjet?

  7. That's the Jazz Goes To College broadcast, another one of the infamous sessions to have been wiped by the BBC. I haven't got this one and would love to hear it regardless of the sound quality (I've got the Bird Dean Benedetti sessions so can put up with anything!). By the way, introductions are by Humph.

    1. Yes indeed, certainly Humph. He's talking about Victor Feldman being so versatile and hopes Tubby doesn't mind being called an all-rounder too; the joke falls completely flat by the sound of it. There could have been some arch looks I suppose but without the video, we'll never know. I wish I could remember who I got the recording from but nothing surfaces. Quite a lot of work to be done on it so could be a while. Will be part of the Ronnie Ross series although he gets no solo space.

  8. That's great, Rodney. If I can do anything to help with the sound restoration, editing etc just let me know.

    1. In my present state, that's an offer I will not refuse, JJ. Upload of the whole thing to 1fichier has just started, in it's raw state. You should get the link direct from there. Emailing.
